Upcoming Date

August 21, 2015

Duration: 1 dayTime: 9:00AM – 5PMPrerequisites: Knowledge of SolidWorks and the basics of the Motion Manager is required. Knowledge of basic mechanical engineering concepts is recommended.

SolidWorks Composer

This training class teaches you how to use the SolidWorks Composer software to create 2D and 3D output from CAD design data. This course is compatible with version 2014. To see a course description, click here .

SolidWorks Electrical Professional

The tools for working with electrical design in the SolidWorks Electrical software are quite robust and feature rich. During this course, we will cover many of the commands and options in great detail. However, it is impractical to cover every minute detail and still have the course be a reasonable length. Therefore the focus of this course is on the skills, tools, and concepts central to successfully working with SolidWorks Electrical. Certain commands will be repeated, or carried out in different ways, during the design to try to reproduce more realistic working environment and so provide a broad overview of how a variety of results can be achieved.

SolidWorks API Training

The goal of this course is to introduce you to the SolidWorks Application Programming Interface (API). Using the SolidWorks API is a great way to automate routines. Just about everything a user leverages through the user interface is available in the API. To see a course description and more details, click here.
